Lou Ogden

City where I live: Tualatin

Skills:3 things I will do if I win:

1. Restore balance between business and labor, so that everyone is treated fairly and expectations for businesses are clearly understood by all. We’ll help bring businesses into compliance if they violate the law, not force them out of business.

2. We need to close the skills-gap between the education students receive and the workforce needs of Oregon’s employers. Better skills means higher wages for Oregon families.

3. When people are earning a living-wage job, not only can they create a brighter future for their families, but our state and local communities benefit. I’m committed to ensuring Oregon is a welcoming place for employers, and a safe place for workers.
